Curio — design style library README | AllMCPs

Curio MCP

Connect your AI to Curio — a design-style library built for AI agents. Hundreds of tokenized design styles (real design movements, brands, cultural traditions), each with a machine-readable spec your agent can apply directly to slides, websites, and products.

Endpoint: https://mcp.designbycurio.com/mcp (streamable HTTP)
Auth: OAuth sign-in — no API key. Searching and browsing are free; 1 credit unlocks a style for good (credit packs, never expire).
Docs: designbycurio.com/docs

Tools

Tool	What it does	Cost
`search_styles`	Keyword + facet search over the library	free
`list_styles`	Browse / paginate, filtered by facets	free
`get_style`	Metadata + preview image for one style	free
`get_style_spec`	Full design spec (DESIGN.md) for a style you've unlocked; for a locked style it returns the cost and your balance instead	free
`unlock_style`	Unlock a style for good and return its spec — your AI asks you first	1 credit, once per style
`get_balance`	Your credit balance and how many styles you've unlocked	free

Your AI never spends a credit on its own: get_style_spec only reads, and unlock_style is meant to be called after you agree. Unlocking a style you already own costs nothing.
